Whoa, never seen lug studs shear at the hub like that.

Time for upgrade to ARP?

+1. That's what happened to mine on a Mustang I used to own. Just headed home from a tire shop and was coming to a stop at red light and the passenger side front wheel and tire broke loose and rolled for about football field then into a ditch.

I've seen that happen when using the wrong kind of lug nuts (using an acorn style nut on a wheel designed for SST) but that's crazy for both of them to break like that.

You would have thought he would have let out once he started to feel the intense wheel hop, but no, he kept going haha
